Thread: Should I destroy my ADK'd DE-10 or would a pistoleer want it? (Updated with STATS)

I made a decent yellow barrel Krayt DE-10 pre-CU and got a 35% damage slice on it. This gun was signifficantly better than my scatter pistol and it encouraged me to get master pistoleer and slap my ADK on it. Post CU, the DE-10 is still a decent weapon, but my Scatter pistol is now better than it. I dropped pistoleer and respec'd back to Master Carbines. I have a proton carbinethat I want to put into an ADK. Would it be wise to destroy the DE-10 to get my ADK back? Or would it be worth it to so find a pistoleer with an ADK to trade me? My thought is that the DE-10 is no longer the uber weapon it was and now is no longer in vogue, and will likely be destroyed for the ADK anyway.


Thoughts?


If there is anyone interested..I'm on Naritus. I don't mean for this to be a trade forum type post...I just want to know how Pistoleers feel about the DE-10 these days and if it's even worth my effort to save the gun.

I'll try to get the stats, but even without the stats, I still think that I could get a little advice fromya'll Pistoleers out there. For instance, are all DE-10's second rate guns these days? It seems that several pistols are now easily superior to the DE-10 and thus, the DE-10's (Even ones that used to be incredible) might now be second rate weaponry.

Some DE-10s converted nicely. Basically, only if they already had really nice stats and had a PUP on them at the time of conversion.


If it converted nicely (say, over 300 base DPS), someone might be interested in it. If it didn't convert too well, it probably would be considered more a third rate gun than even a second rate one. Sad.

It would probably be best to just get the ADK as I dont know of any pistoleers who didnt have a republic blaster or a fwg5 convert better. Really need the stats to know, however.

Okay guys....sorry about all this. Here are the stats of my DE-10 that I'm considering destroying to get my ADK back:


Speed = 2.33


Damage = 448-878


Wound = 18.66


Base DPS = 284.01/sec


My mod speed is 1.55 (That's MBH w/o any pistoleer) which gives me a mod DPS of 426.49/sec


These stats are without a power-up.

destroy it and get your ADK back. In PvP kinetic is the new stun. Besides that though, there is no reason to keep something like your ADK on a second rate gun.

That's only if the target has a PSG. If the target doesn't have a PSG, then Energy is better against Assault armor.

I'd advertise a trade offer in your galaxy forum for a bare ADK kit, maybe someone will want the DE-10 or will have the balls to destroy it for the ADK.

lol...it's not a question of balls, it's a question of "Is it worth waiting for a Pistoleer to trade me his ADK + some cash" (Not a ton of cash obviously) or should I just ADK my proton carb and say goodbye to my formerly pretty pistol.

Samijx,


It's a good pistol but not an outstanding pistoi.I think you will have a hard timeconvincing a pistoleer to giveup an unusedADK plus cash for it. Any MP can easily get the Trandoshan pistol. Personally, I'd rather use my ADK on a sliced Trandoshan pistol than on your DE-10.


Also, you forgot to mention an important stat for your pistol: the SAC. The Trandoshan pistol has a SAC of 75. My converted pistols with stats similar to yourshave a SAC of 84.I wouldn't use a pistol with a higher SAC than that, except maybe for one-on-one PvP.


As a MP/MBH, with a SACof 84 I canfight two opponents with a CL in the high 60's without pausing (cycling between my best specials). But against 3, I run out of action before the 3rd opponent goes down.


So, basically, if your pistol's SAC is more than 84, your pistol is definitely not worth an ADK, at least to me. Even with a SAC of 84, I'd rather use my ADK on the Trandoshan pistol.

Thanks Cart,


That is what I expected, but I wanted to confirm it before I destroyed my precious gun. As we all know, the DE-10's used to be eye-opening, now the eyes still open, but just enough to let out the flood of tears. I will bedestroying it the next time I log on.



Thanksguys

BTW, the SAC is 84. I traded a guy yesterday. He gave me no money, but at least my DE-10 "Sambacca's Jedi Killer" lives....and ironically enough, gave it to a Jedi.
